Just a few pics below of an amazing club day 👌

First off, a massive thank you and well done to our club Captains Jenny and Ray for all your hard work and organising such an amazing event.

A brilliant afternoon of games, fun and laughter ❤️

Great craic with a great team, yummy food and drinks with homemade snacks and tray bakes, we have quite the skilled bunch.

Thankful the weather gods were good to us aswell 😎

Go Team 💪

📢A massive well done to Sarah, Andi and Dave who took on the Antrim Coast Half Marathon today.🏃‍♀️🏃

Well done to you all, amazing running 👏🥇

Showing up still counts, even on the off days.

It's been a minute since we've showed off the team, they have been flat out over the last week and a bit with the usual parkrun efforts, 5-10k and half marathon training.

Before we head in to another great weekend we want to say well done to everyone in their training plans.

Proud of you all ❤️

Can we retire the idea that walking during a run means you failed? Run-walk intervals are literally how most 5K training plans are built — it's not a backup plan, it's THE plan. Your legs get a reset, your heart rate comes back down, and you end up covering more distance than if you'd tried to grind out a straight run and died at minute 12. Elite marathoners use run-walk strategies. You are allowed to use them for your Tuesday evening jog around the block. Progress isn't a straight line and neither is your pace. What's your go-to interval — 1 min run/1 min walk? 30/30?

YESSS! 😍🔴⚫️
